Yearick still faces a court date next month on theft of services charge, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

Michael Sprow, Dauphin County's first assistant district attorney, told the news agency Monday that a negotiated guilty plea to avoid a trial is still possible.

Sprow also said the turnpike commission accepted the lesser amount of just over $10,000 in restitution based on Yearick's trips between Harrisburg East and Mechanicsburg.

Yearick is accused of using the E-Z Pass-only lane without a transponder for 1,645 trips between the Harrisburg East and Mechanicsburg interchanges between January 2012 and March 2017, according to LancasterOnline.

At the time of her arrest, Yearick accumulated more than $92,000 in tolls and fees based off of calculations between the Harrisburg East interchange and Ohio.
